Looking for a Digitizer for my note! I just broke it LCD looks fine and touch screens works perfect. Just need the front glass. But I don't have paypal so I can't buy on ebay!
You can't replace the front glass only. You need to purchase a complete display assembly including the glass, digitizer, AMOLED display, Wacom digitizer, home button and the frame. It costs around 250 dollars.

So all the ebay listing with just the front glass screen are no good? My display and tocuhscreen work perfect.
Yes. You need the complete assembly.
Unless your a pro at removing glue/glass whule being sure not to crack lcd grab just digitizer. And only if you have ultimate patience.
Save yourself a headache a byt complete assembly. Trust me from a guy wasted alot of money on digitizers.

If u know what you are doing it actually isint very hard I would suggest buy the cheapest digitizer around and give it a shot if nothing works out get the whole kit.
I'm thining of buying the digitilizer and take to a mobile shop to have it installed!!

Let me spell it out for you:
You can NOT replace the digitizer/glass only. You need to purchase the complete assembly.

I'm a mobile device service tech too (I actually own the business) and you are correct. You have to replace the entire assembly. It is not possible to separate the screen and digitizer without damage... those people on eBay know full well that you can't and shouldn't be selling them.

You can if you have the right tools. I broke my digitizer awhile back and bought the digitizer only. Theres actually a thread around here. Only thing I didnt have was some good double sided tape that would have made everything alot easier.
The biggist issue on ebay with digitizer only are they dont come with preinstalled tape already attached. But a heat (blow dryer) and some good plastic(always only plastic) tools its not that difficult.
I had to purchase just the digitizer because when I cracked the screen, the full assembly wasnt available yet. Its not hard, just takes a little patience.
I eventually converted my note into a white version. Picture below is my old lcd with installed digitizer. I would still suggest to buy complete assembly. I have a guy on ebay that sells them pretty cheap and ships fast.
And daddymatt your missing out on some business.

I have a completely intact Galaxy Note. The only thing that doesn't work is the motherboard. So, you can put your motherboard in this phone, and you would be good to go! I think there are a few videos on youtube about it taking it out and such. It looks really simple to do. I'll sell it to you for $250, if you're interested PM me!
Take a look at http://www.cnn.cn I've bought parts from them before and are reliable.

Yeah the two parts are fused together. I read some stuff about cheap/fake gorrila glass units on ebay so I sent mine straight to Samsung for repair. Cost 180$ including shipping to and from. Even the "oem" screen digitizers cost 200–300 on Amazon or cell repair sites.

Sorry to hear that. You can get part and fix it yourself. Save some buck or take it to bestbuy or radioshack.
I am also sending mine in for fixing. What I would like to know is if they will replace the metal frame that goes around the phone mine has a big dent from the fall I think its called the bezel? Anyone know if this gets replaced when samsaung fixes the screen.

Yeah it took a good week. It looks and feels like brand new. They even replaced the button at the bottom. And about the comment of just getting good a refurbished one in return... Check your serial afterward. I got my original phone back. And to folks who offer to fix these my main concern is genuine oem parts. Some ppl have said after they fix there's the phone simply doesn't feel like it's oem state.
Dose anyone know if I can replace only the digitizer?? All the tutorials I see online is replacement of LCD and Digitizer..
Digitizers are $25 on ebay Digitizer and LCDs are over $200...
After further investigation I found out why you can't replace just the glass..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es8gezSdKv4&feature=youtu.be
Samsung Galaxy S3 Screen Repair
Acutally there are several tutorials on just replacing the screen. It is a bit tedious and will require patience but is very doable. From all I see, the outer metal/chrome/etc frame is part of the digitizer is and will not be part of the screen only replacement. Screen assemblies alone are around $30 on Ebay

link? I need one now.
the price for the replace screen is so expensive
YOU CANNOT JUST REPLACE THE GLASS OR JUST REPLACE THE LCD! THEY ARE FUSED TOGETHER!
IN ORDER TO UNFUSE THEM YOU NEED AN OVEN DESIGNED JUST FOR THAT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN!
Buying just the glass is a scam and will not work!!!!!!!! YOU MUST BUY THE GLASS WITH THE LCD FUSED TO IT ALREADY!
Samsung charged $190 to fix the screen, the touch screen and everything were working fine but the screen broke.Did anyone get the screen fixed for less? I shopped around locally bu they quoted 350 $...lol..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium HD app
If brave enough they sell just the glass online for around $20. But you have to heat the phone up enough to melt the adhesive and separate the digitizer and glass. I'm not brave enough to try it myself though. There are videos on YouTube showing how but looks to hard for me to even attempt. Other than that I haven't found a cheaper alternative. Cracked mine about a month ago. $200 for a fix through insurance and $200 for a replacement online.
Wish i knew the glass was only 20 bucks i would have certainly went that rout. I brake mine on Saturday, and bought the glass with the digitizer for 229.00 i didnt have any insurance and i was getting the same 350 and up repair cost when i called around.
so mine screen with digitizer will be here to tomorrow, should be a simple fix.
Here is one for $13.99

Yea on the next one i will def be heating up the phone and replacing the glass.

I wouldn't be pissed they didn't mention the downside to doing this you will not have the oem glue so the display wont stick like oem there is a high chance you will have dust under the display also the phone will become randomly unresponsive this is my experience from the gs3 glass replacement as for many others

Hey guys.. make sure if u replace yourself, to get the 3m transperrent "filler tape" if not, once glass is back on u will have gap beetween digitizer and glass.

I used b&q own brand double sided tape, with no issues. I was worried but it worked out good.
You gents are getting good at this ....
Could someone provide a contact link to the Samsung repair folks ??
I've got a 2nd device that needs a screen ...that I scored for free ...and I'm not gonna risk it myself ..
I figured the repair still falls below value ...then I'll sell the device and make a buck or two for my trouble ...

for everyone on this page, the reason the repair price is that way it is is because since the phone is oow by condition you have to cover the shipping, parts and labor.
since samsung is a "all or nothing repair center" even though both screen were not broken, they are going to replace both screens and any other internal parts that have been damaged to prevent shipping back a device that is defective.
after the repair the device will be placed back into full warranty or if it was out of warranty by date when sent in it will be put into a 90 day extended warranty from the time you recieved the device back from repair.
also if you attempt a repair at home and manage to damage the device and after evaluation the device is labeled BER or beyond repair your devices imei will be added to a list and no repair will be able to be made to it.
as for the number to contact for repairs, call 1-888-987-4357 and theyll be happy to help you with a price quote and possible repair.
hope this helps clear some stuff up, have a great day guys!
repairing the note 2 screen
i generally do it for about 80-125. the 80 is only the glass but the loca glue needs to be replaced with the glass in order to get the touch functionality to work properly. i aso have a video how to repair the note 2 and note 3 glass on youtube. i do the glass and glue for 125 on note and 150 for note 3. hope this helps. youtube "samsung galaxy note 3 glass only replacement & LOCA bonding " to see the video how to repair the glass
as many of you may know the glass on the galaxy s3 l710 not sure about the other models is not drop proof I think its just a scratch resistance glass not drop resistance glass I've seen many of post and youtube videos where folks have dropped there phone including me. and get crazy quotes to replace it. so I went digging for other options. first a little over view on the hardware of the phone there is the glass, touch screen digitizer,middle chassis, components that sit on the back of the middle chassis including mother board etc. and then the back cover.
the below youtube video shows how to take phone apart, its not hard just make sure u have the right tools. (very fine phillips head screw drivers etc)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHELvmoX0NY
this video explains why its wiser to go with the replacement touch screen digitizer assembly replacement vs glass replacement if done wrong you can brake the digitizer so best bet go with the digitizer assembly replacement.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkQZHU-SRC8
now here is what I call the exciting part, I have been hearing crazy prices for the touch screen digitizer between 300 and 500 dollars which is funny to me because the phone does not cost that much so the link below is to a website that sells parts for the phone at a very low prices.
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale/...30&groupsort=1
I see as low as 112 bucks. I ordered from the alieexpress before some of them ship the tools you need to disassemble the phone. I well be ordering my touch screen digitizer screen for the l710 in a week or two I'll keep you posted on the switch out. I cant wait to get it done I know a couple of phone part venders in the mall who swear you need to go the route with the heat gone etc and they can do it for me for 300 dollars yea right lol
Do you know of a place to get parts for the E4GT? I have a perfectly functional E4GT but it has a broken digitizer. The outer glass itself doesn't even have a scratch

Hi all,
Unfortunately yesterday I cracked the glass on my Note 2 after dropping it from a height of a feet (So much for the Gorilla Glass 2)
Anyway, whats done is done and I now have big 2 inch long crack on the glass. The display & touch is fine and working well though.
What I wanted to ask you guys is if you know of a way to replace just the glass? Or would I have to go in and get the whole display unit replaced? I have a spare display unit from a friends Note 2(He cracked the display but his glass was fine). Is there some way to use the glass from that unit?
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Happened to me once. The glass was broken and some stripped off color on the sides. I bought glass only and the housing on ebay (shipped from hong kong), but it looked good and nice quality like original. I took time to learn from watching YouTube and replaced them. Now it looks like new. You can try, it is not impossible

I do it often
I do it all the time. in fact I buy lcd assemblies with broken glass allot on ebay and refurbish. Many people watch a youtube video and think they can do it without an issue. some succeed and most end up cracking their lcd in the process. I did on my first time.
I think what I learned after doing many was patience patience patience.......and heating the broken glass to the right temperature to soften the loca. private message me if you want additional suggestions. Hope this helps. Lance

Okay so I saw some of the videos on YouTube. It seems to be delicate work and I'm not sure someone as clumsy and impatient as me should undertake this task as possibly damage the LCD as well.
Does anybody know of someone/some repair shop who can do this well in India? Preferably in Hyderabad?
you can send it to me. the only problem is that I am in Florida.

That's not an "only" problem Sending you the phone, the cost of the spare glass & service charges would cost way more than getting the whole display unit replaced!
Thanks for the offer though.. I'll try to find someone locally.

My phone is beyond warranty...water damaged and rooted so I'm doing this myself. Any thoughts on where to get the most reliable screen? I was looking around on Amazon for a few and there's various options. Which is the best one to go with? The digitizer works fine. Phone's been damaged since the holidays and works fine minus the crack.

You're going to need to buy the LCD and digitizer assembly. Unless you're very careful you're likely to break the LCD while trying to separate it from the digitizer. It's very thin and glued with industrial adhesive.

that appears pricey then...it's not that much of a deal breaker on the screen to me. I don't notice it unless it's a completely white screen. How much would someone charge to replace it in your opinion and who would you ask since I'd likely break the digitizer while replacing the screen?

Yeah it is. I'm speaking from personal experience though. I tried to repair a digitizer on my phone before and it's very difficult to not break the lcd panel. It takes patience and a lot of care to complete. There's people in my area that do it on craigslist for upwards of $150. I'm not saying you can't do it, I'm saying it may end up being a more costly repair if you break the lcd as I did. Check out some YouTube videos and decide whether or not you'd like to do it yourself, because it can be done.
